The comparison
Even G2 vs Ray-Ban Meta.
Two philosophies, one face: show information or record moments? The honest comparison – cards on the table: we are the authorised Even Realities partner.
The short verdict
Not “better” – “what for”.
Even G2: for everyone who wants subtle overlays in their field of view – navigation, translation, notes, teleprompter, in a light device without a camera.
Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2): for everyone who wants first-person photos and videos, music and an assistant for the ear.
These are two product categories, not competitors. The real question is: what do you actually want?

Frequently asked questions
Comparison questions.
Can the Even G2 take photos?
No, by design. If you want first-person photos, camera glasses like the Ray-Ban Meta are the right category.
Can the Ray-Ban Meta show text?
No, it lacks a display. Navigation, translations or a teleprompter in view exist only on display glasses like the Even G2.
Where can I compare and try the Even G2?
At the Zurich showroom, Zeltweg 74, with a live demo of all functions.
